Property Description
The property has been very well updated and has been used as a gite until last year. The house could be bought fully furnished if wanted although the furniture is not included in the price advertised.
By developing the barn to the back of the house into a very large kitchen/living room on the ground floor, further rooms on the ground and first floor with a salon and possible terrace on the first floor with views toward the Pyrenees in the distance with a large courtyard area to the front mainly south and west facing, this would enable the whole main orientation of the house to be changed to create a six bedroom house in total.
WORKS HAVE NOW STARTED TO REROOF PART OF THE ADJOINING BARN, CREATION OF A FIRST FLOOR TERRACE WITH VIEWS TOWARDS THE PYRENEES AND DEMOLITION OF SOME OUTBUILDINGS. ONCE THESE WORKS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED, THE PRICE WILL BE INCREASED TO REFLECT THE VALUE OF THESE EXTENSIVE WORKS. A couple of photos at the end show the works in progress.
At the moment, the house is entered through a courtyard with a gated entrance and single storage barns to side, a doorway which gives access to the large stone barn and another courtyard on the other side of the barn, an old bread oven and a covered seating area to the side of the front door. The tiled entrance lobby gives access to the kitchen at the side (17m2) with units, oven and hob, dishwasher and worktops. To the side of the kitchen a spiral staircase leads up to the first floor. From the kitchen, a door leads to towards the dining room (10m2) with a WC located to the side of the lobby. On the other side of the stairs leads through to the cinema room (27m2) with original cinema chairs from the Bristol Hippodrome in the UK and doorway to an old stable which could be incorporated into the house with another doorway to the outside.
The stairs lead up to the first floor and into the salon (21m2) and to bedroom 1 (12m2). Stairs lead up to the second floor and bedroom 2 (15m2) with sloping ceiling and ensuite bathroom with bath, WC and basin. Another doorway leads to a small external are with steps down to the side and up to the second part of the house.
This comprises a lobby/office area (10m2) with good views (scope to put in a corner kitchen in this area to create a second self contained house) and off to bedroom 3 (master bedroom) (28m) with beamed ceiling, stone evier sink, roll top bath and basin in a 19th century Spanish wash stand. A passageway leads down to bedroom 4 (11m2) as well as shower room with basin and separate WC. Stairs lead up to bedroom 5 (14m2) with attic ceilings and door to ensuite WC and basin.
Outside, from the courtyard at the front of the house, double gates lead out towards the alley and the swimming pool on the far side surrounded by concrete block walls. A super area with lots of decking area, a shower, barbecue, pizza oven and worktops making it an ideal entertaining area. Steps lead up the swimming pool itself.
To the side of the courtyard, a large stone barn is found with a pedestrian access through into the building and with a vehicular access on the far side which leads into a large courtyard offering huge potential to create something very special. The double height stone barn (86m2)has a large opening in the side overlooking the courtyard and faces south and west. To the side a slightly lower range of two storey stone barns overs in excess of 30m2 of space on each level. There are stone steps on the gable end of this barn. A former cottage is located to the side (35m2) with an extensive range of outbuildings on two sides in various states of repair. This whole courtyard area extends to about 1427m2.
This property needs to be seen to appreciate the potential it offers and what an amazing development it could be come, subject to all the usual planning requirements.
I have created a pdf with lots of photographs. Please contact Guy Sherratt on for more details.
